A college football game forces Iron Maiden to change the Los Angeles show date

Due to difficulties with a scheduled college football game in the vicinity, Iron Maiden‘s September 26th performance at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, CA has been rescheduled for September 27th, as per theprp. The British heavy metal superstars released the following statement on March 4.

Live Nation regret to announce that Iron’s Maiden second show in LA on September 26 has had to be rescheduled to September 27. We regret to inform fans that due to restrictions on simultaneous events at Exposition Park, we have been forced to move the Iron Maiden show scheduled for Saturday, September 26 at BMO Stadium to Sunday, September 27. This is specifically due to the USC Trojans vs Oregon Ducks college football game taking place at the neighbouring 100,000 capacity Memorial Coliseum stadium.

This is an unprecedented circumstance and is unfortunately entirely outside of either our or the band’s control. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause and appreciate your understanding as we comply with venue and city regulations.

The Friday, September 25 performance at BMO Stadium remains unchanged.
All tickets purchased for Saturday, September 26 will be honored for the rescheduled show on Sunday, September 27. Emails have been sent to ticket holders with further details.

We are extremely sorry for the disruption and thank you for your continued support.
